If you want to seek treatment that involves talking and counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been found to be a successful route for around half of people who suffer from panic attacks or agoraphobia.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy aims to change your thoughts and behavior and is statistically proven to have a high success rate when treating anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy works because it attempts to both help you process why you may be having the thoughts you have leading up to a panic attack and then help you change your behaviors to help you manage them with you state feeling one build up.
CBT is made of two elements, cognitive therapy and behavior therapy.
Cognitive therapy is based on the idea that the way we think triggers panic attacks.
Any harmful or unbeneficial thinking patterns are worked through and identified along with false beliefs or thoughts you may have.
This will teaches the sufferer to notice their thought patterns, and understand how they are misinterpreting events and causing automatic negative thoughts to spiral out of control resulting in anxiety and panic building up.
Behavior Therapy targets the way you react to things which trigger anxiety, or feelings you associate with the onset of anxiety.
The therapist will help you to walk through those scenarios that trigger an attack and help you feel more confident and in control, reducing the prevalence's of a panic attack in these situations.
This may include the use of mantras or breathing techniques.
CBT is widely used to cure anxiety disorder, and this is a method to re-program your mind reaction to the trigger of anxiety attacks.
However, it won't be solved in one or two sessions especially if the panic disorder is a well established part of your everyday life.
